Funding Traders vs. Mubite at a glance

Updated on

The short answer

Funding Traders is the choice for multi-asset traders (Forex/Indices) who want MT5 and static drawdown options. Mubite is a specialized crypto-only firm for those who prefer trading on ByBit with high leverage but accept stricter withdrawal caps.

Where they actually differ

  • Platforms and Assets (Tech): Funding Traders provides MT5 and TradeLocker for Forex, Crypto, Indices, and Commodities. Mubite is exclusive to Crypto and operates through ByBit; it does not support MT5.
  • Withdrawal Limits (Payout): Funding Traders has no percentage cap on withdrawals ($200 min). Mubite caps every payout request at 5% of the account size, carrying the rest over.
  • Risk Management (Risk): Funding Traders enforces a strict "2% risk per trade idea" rule (grouping similar trades). Mubite limits realized loss to 3% of equity per trade and caps position sizes at 1x-2x the account balance.
  • Drawdown Structure (Risk): Funding Traders offers 6% or 10% static drawdown options on 2-Step plans. Mubite uses a "Smart Drawdown" for Instant Funding that locks at certain profit milestones.
  • Pricing (Price): Funding Traders is significantly more affordable for evaluations; a $100k 2-step challenge costs $539, whereas Mubite’s equivalent costs $729.
  • Payout Speed and Guarantees (Payout): Funding Traders offers a "Payout Guarantee" paying the trader $1,000 if a request isn't processed in 2 days. Mubite has a standard 14-day waiting period between payouts.

Where they are basically the same

  • Styles: Both allow weekend holding and EAs (provided they are self-developed or for risk management).
  • Risk: Both use a daily drawdown limit (3% to 5%) based on starting balance or equity.
  • Payout: Both offer Crypto as a primary withdrawal method and start with an 80% profit split for evaluation accounts.
  • Price: Both offer scaling plans that increase capital based on consistent performance.

Pick this one if

Funding Traders:

  • You trade Forex or Indices on MT5.
  • You want static drawdown to avoid trailing traps.
  • You look for lower entry prices for large account evaluations.

Mubite:

  • You are a crypto-only trader who wants 1:100 leverage.
  • You prefer the ByBit ecosystem over traditional MetaTrader brokers.
  • You don't mind withdrawal caps in exchange for high crypto-specific liquidity.

Frequently asked questions

Which firm is cheaper for a $100,000 evaluation, Funding Traders or Mubite?

Funding Traders is more cost-effective, offering its $100k 2-Step challenge for $539. In comparison, Mubite charges $729 for a 2-Step evaluation of the same size, making Funding Traders roughly 26% cheaper for this specific tier.

Which firm offers higher leverage for crypto trading, Funding Traders or Mubite?

Mubite offers significantly higher leverage for crypto at 1:100. Funding Traders provides 1:50 leverage for Forex, but its crypto-specific leverage is generally lower than Mubite's specialized crypto environment.

Does Funding Traders or Mubite have more restrictive news trading rules?

Funding Traders is more restrictive in its funded Pro accounts, capping news-influenced profits at 30% of the total. While Mubite allows news trading, it is Funding Traders that offers a specific "News Trading" add-on to mitigate these restrictions, whereas Mubite keeps all risk rules (drawdown) active without specific profit caps on news.

Which firm has a better payout reliability policy, Funding Traders or Mubite?

Funding Traders has a more aggressive reliability policy through its "Payout Guarantee," which pays the trader $1,000 ($500 cash + $500 credit) if the payout isn't processed within 2 business days. Mubite does not offer a cash-backed speed guarantee and imposes a 5% cap per withdrawal request, which Funding Traders does not have.

The first position-size or exposure violation receives one five-minute correction window.

Yes

Allowed: copy trading between your own FundingTraders Pro accounts; copying trades from your own accounts on other brokers/firms into your FundingTraders account.

Not allowed: copying trades from accounts owned by other traders; sharing signals with other traders.

No

Copying or mirroring trades from other accounts, platforms, signal services or third parties is prohibited during both evaluation and funded stages.

News Trading
Limited

Challenge phase

  • News trading fully permitted, no restrictions.

Funded phase — Pro accounts

  • News trading allowed but max 30% of total profits can come from news-influenced trades.
  • News Trade window: 5 minutes before / 5 minutes after high-impact (Red Folder) event.
  • If the 30% limit is exceeded, payout processing is delayed until additional trades bring the percentage back under the limit.
  • Trades held for 5+ hours before a high-impact news release are NOT considered News Trades.

Funded phase — Instant Funded accounts

  • News trading is strictly prohibited by default: having any open trades during a high-impact news event results in account termination.
  • Timing restriction: no opening, closing or triggering pending orders within 5 minutes before / 5 minutes after a high-impact news event (10-minute window). Applies even with the add-on.
  • Optional Hold Through News (15% Add-On): allows positions opened outside the 10-minute window to be held through high-impact events without breaching the account.
Yes

News trading is allowed. Daily and maximum drawdown limits and all other risk rules remain active during volatile events.

Inactivity Rule

The 30-day inactivity period begins on the day the account is purchased, not from last activity. If no trades are placed within this period, the account is automatically failed for inactivity and permanently closed (no restoration). Applies to Challenge and Funded accounts.

Deactivation after 30 days without trading. Email warning after 14 days of inactivity.

Consistency Rule
Yes

Pro accounts (1-Step & 2-Step)

Instant Funding

Largest profit day must not exceed 15% of total profits.

Instant Flex: 15% consistency score.

Yes

Funded stage only. The best day must account for less than 25% of total profit on Instant Funding, 30% on One-Step and 40% on Two-Step. Exceeding the threshold delays payouts until compliance; it does not close the account.
Nitro uses a Funded Score below 20%: best day profit divided by total profit from profitable days in the payout cycle. This delays payout until compliant and never closes the account.

Hold Weekend
Yes

Weekend holding permitted on all account types (Pro and Instant Funded). Positions can be held across the weekend on all instruments, including crypto. No forced Friday flatten. Gap risk and widened spreads around the Asian open still apply; swap fees still charged.
